So I tried loading MCE 7.10 from DVD with the AMD 64 Bit DVD...the install went fine however after reboot it just got into a reboot loop. I need to get the model off my Mobo but I am fairly certain this is Asus Mobo I will get the model later. I have a dual core AMD x2 and like 2gig of ram....I have a 7900 GTX Video card. I have sucessfully installed Kubuntu 8.10 and patched it and had it very stable. I tried using the 8.10 aplha 2 following the instructiions here http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2

I installed and patched/updated 8.10...rebooted installed the restricted 177 Nvidia driver...and then ran the scrpits from a terminal...I did do sudo in front of the commands and I watched it wget and load files. I used checklist control on the steps on the wiki and after reboot it appears that it hits an issue with samba and gets stuck in a reboot loop...My Mobo would return a series of beeps. I had no extrenal speakers. I also had no tv tuner. I was trying a barebones installation. I had onboard Nics and Onbaord sound that does work with ALSA...I am aware that until I list the Mobo that this post is a little premature but just wondering if based on the info I have any ideas or tips. Additionally I reloaded 8.10 Kubuntu and repatched it...is there a linux equivalent to dxdiag on windows boxes...thanks in advance
